Default Looking for a Ball Cap

I wear ball caps all the time. I hope that it's not like jorts or Newbalances. Yes I still have all of my own.

On to the post - I finally found a C8 hat I liked, but it is waaaaay too tight in the head band part, especially in the front. Possibly due to its curve. It's as if it is for a child - even with the rear strap not fastened. It was on Amazon, but if anyone knows of something similar, please post a link.

I got one of these from Corvette Central for $22. The velcro strap on the back has the word 'Corvette' on it but the strap was sewn on upside down so the word was as well. I contacted them to get a replacement and they sent me another one and told me just to keep the first one. So now wifey has one too.

Thanks, I've seen that one. It's nice and may consider getting the flag logo version. It's just that the profile logo cap caught my eye the most.

That's the hat I wear with the top down on my HTC. Here's a link to it: https://www.westcoastcorvette.com/co...-yellow-stripe

Only Rick Hendrick should be seen in public with a high profile baseball cap! If you are over 60 you need a low profile, non structed C8 baseball cap. I have not seen one since the C5.
I think the Museum would sell out in a day.

V-Red, I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree with your statement. I am 75 next month, and have worn a baseball cap every day of my life, when not wearing a suit and tie. I cannot tolerate a low profile cap, I don't buy them, and wouldn't wear them if given to me. My cap must have a perfectly curved bill, and an ironed in crease in the front of the crown before I can wear it. This is what I used to do in the USAF with my fatigue hat, with the hat bill resting on my sunglasses. It does't make me right or wrong, just different. I learn every day on this forum that I dance to a different drummer with most of you in several areas.

V Red 08 I agree with you 100%, over 60 says it all. Nothing else needs to be said.

@tebo I like that one too, but prefer the outline logo as the cooler version. Answer is to get both. @Vetteman Jack I purchased that one, but again either the hat was too small/curved too tight in the "bill" or my head was too large - been accused of that often while doing the SS.

Update: I called the company because they don't make the shipping charge available until they have all of your personal information put into the order. Fyi it's $9 (total cost nearly $40 for a ball cap), plus if it doesn't fit correctly you pay return shipping, so if it doesn't fit correctly or you don't like it, it's not Amazon and you are out over $20 (return shipping is apx $12-15) with nothing to show for the Jackson. Unfortunately, I'll keep looking for now.
